A search and rescue mission for a missing Norwegian woman in Cha-am ended happily when a helicopter search crew spotted her under a tree near her hotel.
Toskardal Schikora, 76, reportedly separated from her friends for a walk on the Cha-am beach Tuesday afternoon and became lost in the woods after injuring her leg.
Her friends received a call from her at 7pm, in which Schikora said she’d fallen over something near a tree and felt faint. The call was cut off.
Her friends sought help from authorities who immediately launched a search that continued until 1am, but did not find the woman. The helicopter search was deployed Wednesday leading to her discovery under a tree behind her hotel.
Schikora was taken to Cha-am Hospital for treatment of exhaustion and an injury to her leg, Thairath reported.
